Temperature detectors and limiters from limitor are completely
based on hybrid technology. This totally unique concept using bimetal
elements and A1203 ceramic substrates guarantee five-fold protecion and
numerous benefits:

Spontaneous
response since the ceramic conducts heat well and the plastic housing
cannot absorb much heat.This fine Temperature sensitivity allows he components to be
installed outside of the winding and immediately next to the heat source.
As a result, costs are kept low and installation at a later stage is also
possible.Responese
to installation faults since the ceramic breaks under mechanical stess
thus interrupting the power supply.

The hybrid technology allows
additional function:

Auto-triggering of
the switch resulting from a resistance which heats up the thermostatic
switch in the case of internal overloading.This triggering resistance,
correctly adapted to the maximum current, ensures a fast response.Latching:Once switched off,
the current supply only starts to floe again when the voltage has been
manually interrupted(brief disconnection from the network).

The name Limitor is a guarantee of first-class material and first-class
processing quality. The new housings, able to withstand voltages of up to
2kV, are made of self-extinguishing plastic and are fully encapsulated.
Long-term durability is guaranteed up to 160¢Jand short-term durability up
to 200¢J/min.

Keep
cool

Overheating is the most frequent reason behind the
destruction of electrical devices. As a result of overloading, jamming,
stiff bearings, inadequate cooling, motors begin to overheat and cables
char through until the whole lot blows. There is then only one thing you
can do:Switch off.

This is exactly what Limitor "P" temperature detectors does. If the
temperature rises above the premitted value, they switch off the power
supply and do not switch it on again until the temperature has
dropped.

Sure
out

Q-series Limitor tempreature limiters also respond
to rises in tempreature and break the electronic circuit. In contrast to
their P-counterparts, the power remains switched off (latching) until the
voltage is manually interrupted, for example by somebody pulling out the
plug.

Faster
than the short-circuit

Limitor temperature and current limiters (Y)
respond to increases in temperature and/or if the power supplied at least
doubles. They break the electric circuit and only make it again when
device has been disconnected from the mains supply. Owing to theire
extremely compact design, these Limitor fuse components can be installed
in praticlly all domestic appliances and miniature devices, electric
tools, transformers and charging devices,laboratory and process
controllers.

Within
specific boundaries

The response point of Limitor thermostats can be
set to temperatures of between 40¢J and 180¢J. Depending on the
application, they break or make an electric contrast. Or they break the
circuit and will not make it again until the device is disconnected from
the mains supply.
